Healthy #headwaters are essential public #infrastructure. The #easternslopes store, filter, and release the water that sustains our farms, rivers, and homes. But right now, short-sighted #UCP #abpoli decisions are causing permanent damage to the very systems that keep our water clean and reliable. Raise your voice! #SaveOurSlopes

Significant areas of the #EasternSlopes land were opened to coal leases, initiating a widespread response from concerned landowners, environmentalists, and #Indigenous communities. Due to public pressure, the 1976 #Coal #Policy was reinstated in early 2021 after cancelling eleven new coal leases. Four projects were exempted from the Ministerial order, two of which being Benga’s #GrassyMountain and Montem’s Tent Mountain coal projects.

Dig, baby, dig! Energy Minister Brian Jean lifts ban on coal exploration on the #EasternSlopes of the Rockies - Alberta Politics https://albertapolitics.ca/2025/01/dig-baby-dig-energy-minister-brian-jean-lifts-ban-on-coal-exploration-on-the-eastern-slopes-of-the-rockies/ “Stripping #coal out of those Eastern Slopes will impair our watersheds and contaminate our water with selenium for generations, potentially crippling the ag-foods industry. It will destroy habitat for legally protected species at risk including bull trout, cutthroat trout, limber and whitebark pine and others. (1/2)

It was so nice to hear Corb Lund, Chris Spearman (former Mayor of #Lethbridge), and Adam North Peigan in this episode of CBC Radio's What On Earth:

The key point here: Logging the upper Kananaskis will unavoidably damage some part of critical habitat of a protected trout population; will damage its residences; and/or will kill, harm, harass, or take individuals of a SARA-listed species. Any of those are unlawful, offering a means of stopping the logging through court action.

Nearly three years after the province tried, and failed, to open the Eastern Slopes to coal mining, this iconic piece of Alberta is still under threat, say those who live and work there.
